Il rinvenimento di un gruppo di vani semipogei presso il settore nord-orientale del Suburbio di R... more Il rinvenimento di un gruppo di vani semipogei presso il settore nord-orientale del Suburbio di Roma ripropone il tema della interpretazione di strutture realizzate in antico nel sottosuolo, che nel caso specifico è ricondotto ad uno dei tanti piccoli agglomerati rurali, che insieme alle fattorie caratterizzavano il paesaggio arcaico ed alto-repubblicano dell'agro di Roma e degli altri centri limitrofi.

river Anio, which was the subject of bitter and prolonged disputes and was still the focus of war between the
Romans and Sabines under the reign of Tarquinius Superbus. The cities located beyond the Anio were definitively
conquered by Rome at the beginning of the Republic. The archaeological sources attest that this northern
sector of Latium vetus, like Rome and the other large mid-Tyrrhenian centres, had in the archaic period an
outstanding period of development: the cities were adorned with great monumental buildings, both public and
private, with different kinds of construction, including city walls with banks and ditches and infrastructure. In
the countryside there also appeared roads and hydraulic structures which are testimony to the extensive organization,
as well as mobility, of agricultural activity, which was conducted at different scales of settlement. The
state of permanent conflict and the constant change of ownership of the areas were therefore compatible with
the growth and articulation of occupation, but we are still unable to discover how to integrate this apparently
contradictory data due to the insufficient number of excavations.
This paper deals also the relationships between buildings constructed on the eastern Forum Romano’s site from the Thirties of the First Century b.C. and the contemporary topographical context. It explores shapes, meaning and cultural pattern of their realization. These monuments were functional to the celebration of princeps and adopted as architectural models outside Urbs to spread the emerging Augustus’s ideology.

Ma la versione ufficiale degli eventi non riuscì a cancellare le tracce di misfatti e intrighi grazie ai quali Augusto detenne il potere assoluto, sacrificando tutto, anche gli affetti più cari, in nome delle ‘ragion di stato’.
